- Thanks for all the advice. I decided to go ahead to take Cherie to
- the doctor yesterday. No ear infection, just a nasty head cold (2nd
- one). The doctor prescribed Triaminic drops (decongestant) with 3 refills since
- this is her second cold. So at least if she gets another one in the
- near future I don't have to spend $33 at the doctor's office just to
- get a prescription.
